Congrats Didiamond on your beautiful sparklies! Wear them in good health!

Regarding the men and jewelry issue, all I can tell you guys is persistence paid off for me. My husband was one of "those" that thought (and still does) diamonds are a waste of money.

For our 15th ann. I asked for an ering upgrade. Instead I got a Saleen Mustang.
40.gif
My DH thought nothing of dropping thousands on a vehicle but a diamond??? No Way! We have 5 vehicles not counting my sons'' truck. (Guess you can tell where HE likes the disposable income to go!) After he bought the latest vehicle I finally said, "Enough! I want a larger diamond." So for our 20th (last year) I finally got it. I had to pick it out, have it set and purchase it myself, but who cares?? I finally got the diamond I''ve always wanted.

Finally, he''s realized that jewelry (specifically diamonds) are what I like regardless of his opinion of them. I, in turn, accept his obsession with vehicles. We have always been careful with our money, (have college funds for our kids, retirement funds set aside,etc.)so we take turns splurging on our separate obsessions. (I think he owes me a few, however.

) Isn''t that what it''s all about? Sharing and accepting one another obsessions and all? Sometimes they come around with a little hard work and perseverance.

I think you said that very nicely. I couldn''t have said it better myself! I''m glad to hear that he came around and indulged you in your obsession!!

And thank you!

I am so glad I can look at all this eye candy and talk to all you wonderful gals and guys...

I wanted to post my pics of my e-ring and bands in the eye- candy forum..but my pics just come out blurry and fuzzy. Any tips on how to get the pics to come out clear? Which is better, for lighting indoors or out?

Thank you so much SweetPink and welcome to DT!

As far as pictures go, most people use the macro button on their camera. And lighting? Well, I can only seem to get good pictures outside in the sunlight. Whenever I try to take them indoors (even with sunlight) they just don''t come out clear, yet others only take them inside and they come out awesome. Just keep practicing. You''ll get it! I hope to see your pics posted soon!

Didiamond, beautiful beautiful stuff!
Do you have more pics of your gorgeous three-stone ring? From the side? I am getting a three stone ring, with a 3 carat center and 1 carat each sidestones and looking for setting ideas. May I ask who made your setting? Thanks!

Hi! Your rings are gorgeous! I love the wedding band! If I had those rings, I would be too afraid to leave the house wearing them because with my luck, someone would steal them from me. You are very lucky anyway. I am looking at a yellow diamond that''s a 1.50 cts and I am so excited! Your rings are truly magnificent.

Hi didiamond,

I just wanted to compliment you on your beautiful collection! Your taste is impeccable! I cannot help but drool! Congratulations also on your 19th wedding anniversary. I hope that I will also have many wonderful years with my boyfriend. We''ve been together for 2.5 years and I feel truly peaceful and content - just turned 28 and life is great! I''m crossing my fingers that an engagement will be in the near future! We''ve been talking about different ring settings and diamond shapes. I am particularly fond of the setting with the (white) radiant cut and trillion sides. If you have the time - could you forward more photo''s of your setting? I don''t mean to impose - just totally inlove with your radiant diamond ring. Do you have side profiles and close up shots of the setting?

I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you also for your time!

All the best,
